Thanks!

Work itself was interesting. We were expecing some people from the Home Office at my facility, so I got put under a lot of stress for nothing.

Then, I get home and pick up the package that’s waiting for me. It’s the puzzle Christine ordered for me for Christmas, finally here. Cool, right? Then, Christine comes home. All piss and vinegar over being called insecure months ago and showing me the dictionary definition of insecure. Without even saying “hello, how are you”! This of course led to a huge argument. We almost couldn’t find the time for me to open the package. I made a video of it, of course, for the 365 project. I love what she got for me; a FlowerMinx puzzle! I, of course, thanked her heavily for it. Now, we’re civil again. This up and down is really wearing on me!

Then, I had to go for a walk to sort out my feelings for my marriage and relationship. I prayed heavily and talked to a friend, just to make sense of what I was thinking. Some of what’s being pointed out to me in our relationship is not good at all. It needs to change. Christine is holding on to too much anger and it has to stop. It’s poisoning her. I think God is trying to get my attention.

Whew! I don’t usually vent in my own blog. But these are my feelings on the matter. Take them or leave them. Oh, the puzzle? I love it! I can’t wait to do a live solve on my favorite social site.

Cheers!

The rest of my time in between? Just the usual stuff. With my head in a fog with confusion and uncertainty. And probably lack of more caffeine. :/

I had a good day at work today… If you don’t count the fact that I overslept and was FIVE hours late!! Because of this, my whole day is screwed up and I’ll have to play catch-up online. Still, I can’t complain too much. Work was good, management understanding of me and I had some help today. I count my blessings wherever I can!

After work, getting home much later than I’d like, I did some pretty quick time on Dailybooth, did a quick video for my 365 project and had a mind to take a walk and practice some night photography. I didn’t do too bad, but I really should have brought the tripod with me. I tried eliminating camera shake as much as possible, but it’s hard to fight your own body’s reflexive movements. You can see the pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisw357/sets/72157623053557721/

When that was done, dinner and a couple of episodes of Sanctuary consumed the rest of the night. =)

Cheers!

Otherwise, I’m doing good. The rest of my job is going well, saving my store’s butts in damages and chargebacks. Not much in the way of personal drama at home, thank God! Just had a quiet afternoon, taking pictures, catching up on Dailybooth… which I almost have down to a science, except for its failwhaling! =P And a good 45 minute nap.

Now to post this and order our now-usual-for-like-five-fridays-in-a-row Chinese take-out! Definitely a beer, too, for the bad I got today. Cheers!

I slept in until 7:30. Saw the moon in the morning sky and took a really good picture of it. I had a really good breakfast from the package my parents mailed to me! Yay for waffles and bacon, with blueberry syrup! I went out and got postcards for another Dailybooth.com postcard exchange. I finally got the chance to sit (or stand?) and play on the Wii. I took more photos outside and uploaded them to Flickr. And I helped one of my best friends, with help from her boyfriend, out with her video problem.

Then Christine came home. We had a small argument that got me depressed, but we worked it out and we’re fine. Took me a little longer to get out of the depression, but I did it! I’m writing and relaxing after catching up on DB and uploading pictures to Flickr, and she’s exercising. Things are going better for us with counseling and we’re communicating better.

All in all, a pretty decent day. Not the best, but certainly not the worst! Let’s hope things continue to get better, shall we? =)

Yesterday and today has been kinda interesting. Last night, some repo guy came to our house to repossess a car I never owned. What a shock this was! This is courtesy of Fireside Bank, whom I’ve dealt with a few times on mistaken identity. I’ve never done business with them. They’re famous, I guess from what I’ve researched, for doing skip tracing and trying to get money from anyone they can. Well, this guy showed me the paper. It had my middle name wrong and the wrong social security number, so they accepted my explanation. I’m still going to call that bank tomorrow and pitch a major fevor with them. Get me off that list!

Work is going stressful, but not as bad as it could be, thank God! Going through some rough times, but they understand that I’m just one person and I’m getting help where needed. Still, some work is piling up for the sake of other duties and it sucks when you can’t get everything done like you’re used to doing.

On top of all this “meh” feeling, I had a conversation with a great friend that unexpectedly hurt their feelings. And that hurts me very much to know that. What is wrong with me lately!? I’m just batting 1.000 here, aren’t I?

Anyways, I’m going to try and eat dinner. Tomorrow is another new day, right? At least it’s a day off for rest.

The pic was shot with a Fuji Finepix S2000HD, edited using iPhoto on Mac and PhotoFX iPhone app.

My 365 Project is going well so far. One picture (anything relating to the day or whatever), one short video, and one blog entry. Sometimes, two of any of these keep me in the habit. You can see my progress here: http://chrisw357.tumblr.com/

Speaking of photography, check out the collection of pics I did in the last two days: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisw357/collections/72157623140974758/

If you want to, tell me what you think. Give some criticism, or whatever.

Pets can sense when something is wrong with who they love. When Thommen saw me laying here, he sat on my chest and looked at me closely. He only does this when he knows something is wrong. Yes… This whole day was just wrong.

My wife snapped this pic today. And she’s a sweetheart for doing so.
